SASD seeks
conversation
on building
Onsager: district did not have a
hidden agenda
Bill Livick
Stoughton Area School District superintendent

Tim Onsager said in an interview Monday that
the district wants to have a community conversation about what to do with the 1892 high
school building.
He said insinuations that the district has
already decided what to do with the building
demolish it are not true.
Its up to the community what were going to
do with this building, Onsager said. We didnt
go into this thinking we want to demolish it. That
is one option, along with renovating it, selling it,
leasing it and along with everything else.
So everythings on the table, and we want to
engage the community, he said.
School Board president Liz Menzer told the
Hub last week she recognizes there are people and groups in the community interested in

KPW building
Second phase plat
will have public
hearing next month
A multi-unit retail building proposed for the corner
of Jackson Street and N.
Kettle Park Way as part of
Kettle Park West development will have to wait at
least another month to get
recommendation from the
planning commission.
While developers were
able to talk about the building itself, they did not submit a certified survey map
for the latest splitting of
the lot, and commissioners were forced to table the
issue until their next meeting on March 14.
Commissioners were particularly concerned with
the availability of parking
depending on the types of
business operating in the
building. Representatives
for Forward Development
Group speaking on behalf
of the project, which will be
a roughly 10,000-squarefoot building with over
sixty stalls of parking, told
commissioners they are not

will be for the building.
The proposed building is
part of the Kettle Park West
phase I development, under
which a Kwik Trip gas station, a McFarland State
Bank branch and a WalMart Supercenter are currently being constructed.
Phase two stumbles

Also on the agenda was
an official look at a plat
rezoning request for the
second phase of the Kettle
Park West development.
The project proposes to
build roughly 550 residential units, including senior,
multi-family and singlefamily housing, across 80
acres.
City planning director
Rodney Scheel took the
time to re-iterate that the
city faces an uncertain battle in creating a proposed
connection from the housing units to Hwy. 138. The
Wisconsin Department of
Transportation has not given the necessary approval
to create the connection,
Scheel told the commission.
Park space requirements
also could prove to be a
costly impediment to the

second phase of the KPW
plan. Scheel estimated it
would cost nearly $400,000
for the developers to pay a
fee in lieu of having to
add significant green space
to the plat. Scheel said he
had discussed that fee with
representatives of Forward
Development Group prior
to the meeting, but had not
yet indicated what they
would do.
The Parks and Recreation
Committee is expected to
look more closely at park
options for the plat during
its meeting Feb. 24.
March 14 will be the earliest date commissioners
could make a recommendation on the rezoning for
the new site. Scheel recommended the commissioners
get comfortable making
a decision on that day, in
order to avoid putting the
councils back against the
wall by sending the a recommendation to the council further into the building
season, after the commissions April 12 meeting.

Voter ID gets test Tuesday

Supreme Court only race
on primary ballot
Scott Girard
The three candidates for a state

Supreme Court seat wont be the
only ones facing a challenge in
the spring primary election.
Tuesday, Feb. 16, will also put
local clerks to the test as they deal
with the first election with the
states Voter ID law in place since
a single primary in February 2012.
While it will, like most spring
primaries, likely have a low turnout, it will be the precursor to the
April 5 general spring election,
which features both local races
and the partisan presidential primaries.
The local ballot next week will
feature only the state Supreme
Court race, with three candidates
vying for two spots in the general election. Incumbent Rebecca Bradley, who was appointed
for a partial term by Gov. Scott
Walker, faces challengers Joanne
Kloppenburg and Joe Donald.
Clerks told the Hub they were
ready to implement the law that
the state Legislature first passed
in 2011.
After the 2012 spring primary, a
court-ordered injunction prevented its implementation for three

years. The final injunction on the
law was lifted last March, paving
the way for this years elections,
including the November presidential election, to require photo ID in
Wisconsin.
Acceptable identifications
include drivers licenses, stateissued ID cards, passports and
military ID cards.
You know, its funny, people
keep coming to vote and want
to show their drivers license,
and we have to say, No, we
dont need that, said Stoughton
finance director Laurie Sullivan.
But this time we will need to
see a photo ID. Well be looking
at photo IDs this time in order to
give voters a ballot.
Several clerks from around the
Dane County noted that the ID law
could cause confusion among voters about what is needed for registration and what is needed to vote
if someone is already registered.
If a voter is registered at his
or her current address already,
all thats needed is an acceptable
photo ID with their name, current
address or not. If the voter needs
to register, a document must provide proof of residence.
An unexpired drivers license
with a current address, though,
could satisfy both.

If a voter does not have the
required ID on them at the polls,
they can still vote on a provisional ballot, but would have to
return to the clerks office before
Friday at 4 p.m. to show the proper identification.
Town of Dunn clerk Cathy
Hasslinger said voter ID slows
down your line a bit, so the town
has encouraged voters to vote
early with absentee ballots.
That means fewer people on
Election Day and keeps the lines
shorter, Hasslinger said. There
have been people whove taken
us up on that and stop in two
weeks before the election and
vote in our office.
Clerks said theyve offered
training to poll workers that
includes how to handle the voter
ID, such as what is acceptable
and what is not. Many municipalities also included information in
their newsletters.
Neither Hasslinger nor Town
of Rutland clerk Dawn George
recalled problems when voter ID
was in place for the one election

appointed her to fill the seat of the
late Justice Patrick Crooks, who
had died earlier in the year.
She served on the Wisconsin
Court of Appeals and as a Milwaukee County Circuit Court
Judge since her appointment in
2012.
Kloppenburg previously lost
to Justice David Prosser after a
recount in 2011, in a race that
many considered a referendum on
Walkers performance after Act 10
spurred protests earlier that spring.
She sits on the Wisconsin Court
of Appeals, which she was first
elected to in 2012. She had previously served as assistant attorney
general for the states Department
of Justice from 1989.
Donald was first appointed to the
Milwaukee County Circuit Court
by former Gov. Tommy Thompson
in 1996, and was re-elected to his
seat four times since then.
The two candidates who receive
the most votes will move on to the
general election.

Dyreson Bridge finally open Stoughton man arrested for 7th OWI
It cost almost $1 million

to restore, but the Dyreson
Bridge is open again for the
first time since May 2011.
Last Saturday, workers put
down a wearing surface
on the bridge deck, which
opened Tuesday, Feb. 2.
They got the surface on
Saturday and they pulled the
barricades down, said Town
of Dunn clerk/business
manager Cathy Hasslinger.
Theyll take that temporary
wearing surface off this summer and put a double-seal
coat over it, so the bridge
will be closed again for a few
days.
The bridge, originally built
in 1868 and replaced in 1897
with the current structure, is
one of the last truss bridges
in the state. It crosses the
Yahara River on Dyreson
Road, one of only two state
designated Rustic Roads in
the township.
Dunn officials asked the
Wisconsin Department of
Transportation in 2011 to
close the bridge after learning that steel I-beams supporting it had rusted to the
point that their flanges could
be bent by hand, Town Chair
Ed Minihan told the Hub.
Town officials had hoped
to rebuild the bridge long
before now, but a bid in 2012
to perform the work came in
higher than expected from a
company that did not have
the requisite experience,
Minihan said. The companys estimate of $856,499
was deemed too high.

was awarded the construction contract with a bid of
$760,918. The final DOT
estimate included design,
engineering and change
orders and brought the total
estimated cost to $920,000,
Hasslinger said.
The project is complicated
because of the bridges historic nature and also the fact
that its 127-foot length spans
the Yahara River. In replacing the bridges structural
components and repainting
it, workers had to be diligent
about protecting the environment.
A DOT report indicated
that around 75 vehicles
passed over the bridge each
day before it was closed.
Construction to restore the
bridge began in June 2015
and cost nearly $1 million.
The towns share was about
$200,000, Hasslinger said.
Most of the remaining funding came from DOT grants.
There are very few of
these bridges left, Minihan
said.
The Dyreson Bridge is
listed in a DOT report titled
Historic Highway Bridges
in Wisconsin, which indicates the bridge was engineered and fabricated by
Milwaukee Bridge and Iron
Works and built by another
Milwaukee company at a
cost of $1,028.
The overall project is
585 feet to include a new
approach on both ends.

Preserve classic 1892 building

I often wonder why some get
into a sweat to destroy old beautiful things. Ive heard recently
that the wonderful classic 1892
school building, located on the
Stoughton School District campus, is the most recent target.
The word spreads that it must be
demolished to create a parking
lot. Beauty and history replaced
by the void of a parking lot! Oh
dear.
I am then reminded of those
Taliban fanatics who blew up the
1,500-year-old Buddhist statues
in Bamiyan. Theres something
about those who hate history and
beauty and must destroy it.
However I note, with great
gratitude, theres a coalition of
Stoughton citizens including
the Landmarks Commission

whose ordinance I helped to create some years agoare gathering to preserve this historical
treasure. More power to them.
We earnestly hope for your success.
As to those Taliban fanatics,
there was something honest and
straightforward about their festival of destruction. No pretense.
Just simple angry destruction. At
the very least, contemplating the
rubble of those giant, old hated
to them statues, they had no
intention of replacing them with
a parking lot.

Thank you for support of food pantry

The following is a thank you to
the citizens of Stoughton for their
wonderful support of the City
Food Pantry:
Each month, approximately 190
families, made up of about 500
children and adults, come to the
Stoughton Food Pantry. And each
month the citizens of Stoughton
have generously provided basic
food necessities to those who
come.
In a typical month, we distribute over 12,400 pounds of food
and personal items. This is only
possible due to the unbelievable
generosity of the hundreds of
people who donate their time, talents and money. Each week, volunteers donate their time to staff
the pantry, pick up food, stock the
shelves and order food.
Various community groups
have held food drives as well. In
2015, these food drives have collected about 10,000 pounds of
food. Elementary students have

created gardens and donated fresh
produce. Finally, many Stoughton citizens, businesses and community groups have generously
donated their money. In 2015,
cash donations enabled the pantry to purchase canned and boxed
goods, milk, eggs, dairy products
and some fruits and vegetables.
Finally, if you might be interested in assisting in these ongoing
efforts, please consider becoming
a volunteer. Volunteer application
forms are available on the City of
Stoughton website.
It is truly hard to believe the
generosity of this small town.
Thank you, Stoughton, for all you
do.

Community Voices
Conversation on 1892
has only just begun
A
s a regular reader of the
Stoughton Courier Hub, I
have noticed some coverage and letters to the editor about
our 1892 building.
I have always appreciated the
passion our
community has
about its history and heritage; it is one
of the things
that makes us
unique. Given
the interest in
this topic, I
Onsager
would like to
update the community about where we are in the
process and clear up some misconceptions. Most importantly, I
would like to assure folks that we
still have a long way to go before
any decisions are made.
There is no firm timeline to
make a decision about the building, and no pressing need to do
so right away, and we wont be
making any decisions until we
gather a lot more feedback from
the community. Anyone who is
interested in its future is welcome
to be part of that conversation.
The building, which was constructed in 1892, has been designated a local landmark and is on
the National Register of Historic
Places. It is structurally intact,
which is good news because it
means we have options.
It served first as a high school
and then as a junior high school
before it was converted into
administrative offices in the
1980s. It has been vacant and used
for storage since 1997.
In 1999, the district sought two
referenda to restore the building
so Madison Area Technical College could lease the space for a
Stoughton facility. The renovation
referendum totaled $335,000; the
other was for $19,250 annually to
cover operational costs.
Both passed, but when construction bids were significantly
higher than what voters authorized, the plans to lease the building to MATC were later halted,
and the building has sat vacant.
It still would need some work
to make it habitable again and in
compliance with building codes
and federal regulations.
We have only begun talking
about the building now because
we are concerned that in 10-15
years the structure could fall into
serious disrepair and we will have
far fewer options to work with
than we do presently.
We have no plan to demolish
the building. All we have done so
far is present options so the community can tell us what they want
us to do.
In late 2015, I asked our districts director of business services to work with our Facilities
Committee (composed of district
staff and community members)
to gather feedback about what we
should do with the building.
We have hosted two public listening sessions and have met individually with folks who have an
interest in the historic structure.
We also presented our options as
we see them now, as well as some
of the potential pros and cons
associated with each option.
Apparently some folks took
those pros and cons to mean we
wanted to demolish a historical
building to create more parking
spots.
Yes, demolition is one option,
but restoring the building is another, as is leaving it alone for now.
The district hired PRA-Plunkett
Raysich Architects to prepare
a preliminary estimate for how
much it would take to bring the
building up to code. They estimated that it would cost about $5
million, which some folks think is
excessive and inaccurate.
But even if the estimate were $1
million, our district cannot afford
the cost of restoring the building
without taking away funds that
we now use to educate students,
funds that soon will not be enough

even for that purpose.
Even with the generous support
of our community from our 2014
referendum, we face a deficit of
more than $1.39 million for the
2018-19 fiscal year without reductions. That figure does not assume
any additional costs from the 1892
building.
As a school district, we are obligated by law to have a building
that meets code and is accessible
to all. Even if we pursue an option
to sell the building to a private
developer and then try to buy it
back, we dont have the funds to
do that, either.
The district takes seriously our
responsibilities as public servants
and as stewards of public tax dollars. We know that everything
we have here our buildings, our
funds, even our time is held in
a public trust. That includes the
1892 building.
That is why we have consistently said from the beginning that
the conversation about the 1892
building is a community conversation. That conversation has only
begun, and all are welcome to join
us.
The Facilities Committee has
deferred any decision on the 1892
building until January 2017. A
group of people historical preservationists, school district representatives and more is forming
to further explore our options for
the building. We are tentatively
planning a community survey for
the fall that may include a few
questions about the building as
yet another feedback loop on its
future.
The 1892 building has been a
part of our community for about
124 years. We should respect its
past and work together to make
decisions about its future.

Every person is a unique individual with his or her own specific talents,
desires and sense of the world. Even identical twins reflect this truth,
and although they may appear to be identical at birth, it rapidly becomes
evident that they are not mirror images of each other, and as they grow
they each carve out their own personal identity. The task of becoming who
we are is difficult because we have the freedom and the ability to develop
our talents within a fairly broad range. We may be musically or athletically
inclined, but neither of these inclinations tells us which instrument or sport
will be ideal for us. It is up to us to choose. Likewise, our sense of the
meaning and purpose of lifeincluding our overall worldviewcan be
satisfied with a variety of philosophies or religions, and ultimately we have
to choose which one fits us best. This task of becoming who we are is
thankfully a task to fill a lifetime. It will take most of us our entire life to get
it all figured out. The great American philosopher and psychologist William
James lamented late in his life that the great tragedy of life was that when
weve finally got it figured out, its just about over. But isnt that exactly
whats great about life? Its big and grand enough to require a long and
full life to work it out, and even at the end, well still be left with a sense of
wonder.

OKroley told investigators that it was
easy to shoot Nosal, as the former
Metro Market employee blamed her
for his firing the week prior, when she
complained to management about his
advances. OKroley told investigators
he had intended to shoot Nosal a day
earlier, but opted to practice with his
newly purchased gun before carrying
out the crime.

A former girlfriend of OKroleys,
Mandy Joers, told NBC 15 that he
suffered from mental illness, but
never seemed like a threat to anyone
other than himself.
OKroley was being held on a $1

to help pay funeral costs by a man
claiming to be the store director at
Metro Market. Roughly 460 contributors had raised nearly $20,000 as of
Tuesday.
A woman claiming to be a former

1892: Onsager says November listening sessions not as well attended as he hoped
Approved 1999 referendum question
Be it resolved by the School Board of the Stoughton Area School District
that the revenues included in the School District budget for the 1999-2000
school year and thereafter be authorized to exceed the revenue limit by
$19,260 a year, for recurring purposes consisting of operating costs in connection with the renovated old administration building.
so specifically for the 1892
building.
To say it [the referendum] was passed just for
the 1892 building I think
is a misconception, and Id
be very careful about going
down that road, because that
gives the impression that
weve got this $10K for the
last 15 years, Onsager said.
My understanding from
looking at the referendum
question was it was to maintain the general function of
district facilities, including
the 1892 building.
When read the language
of the referendum, Onsager
said, Im just going to have
to kind of confirm that. Im

just going off of my memory. My biz manager is going
to have to check on that. I
wasnt here in 1999.
He reiterated that the
school district doesnt have
money to restore the building and it doesnt have a
need or use for it, beyond
serving as a storage facility.
But, he said, If we could
find a good use and its
financially affordable from
our end, yes, were open to
restoring it. I think preserving historical landmarks,
if we can do it well do it,
but again we knew that we
couldnt do it by ourselves.
That is not a decision that

the district could make without community input.
Onsager also said he
would need to check with
the community before
spending any of the reserved
funds to improve the building interior.
He said the November listening sessions were not as
well attended as hed hoped.
Although he heard from
those who did attend that
they want the district to preserve and find a use for the
building, we really didnt
get a broad perspective of
our community mix. I wish
more people had attended.

The people who came
overwhelmingly supported
trying to find a use for the
building and renovating the
building, he added.
Learn and Sustainable
Stoughton member Roger
Springman told the Hub
theyre grateful that the
school district had decided
to postpone its survey questions about what to do with
the building.
They believe the decision to delay the survey
was in response to pressure
from residents who want the
building saved.
Considering the quick
timeline this spring for
the survey, I think they
were hoping to just get this
through without a lot of
controversy or discussion,
and just be able to get rid of
the building and be done,
Learn said. That is my perception.

Koenecke: ASCA conference focuses on unique contribution of school counselors

readiness round table at the White
House and met with staffers from
the offices of U.S. Sens. Tammy
Baldwin (D-Wis.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and U.S. Rep. Mark
Pocan (D-Wis.).
We were talking about why
school counselors are important
to student achievement and ultimately what their career goals
are, she said.
This years National School
Counseling Week theme was
The Recipe for Success, focusing on public attention on the
unique contribution of school
counselors within U.S. school
systems and the impact school
counselors can have in helping
students achieve school success
and plan for a career, according
to the ASCA website.
This is the second consecutive
year Obama invited the ASCA
to the White House to honor the
School Counselor of the Year,
and Koenecke said shes looking
forward to a return trip next year.
She said before (she and President Barack Obama) leave on Jan.
20, they are hoping to squeeze
us in one more time, Koenecke
said. Were hoping the next
administration will carry that on.
She said Obamas Reach

school students to complete their
education past high school led the
First Lady to realize how important school counselors are to that

endeavor.
Koenecke said it was great to
hear from counselors from around
the country, and seeing how
school counseling is different,
and how its the same. She said
there are lessons she will take
back to her students and staff at
River Bluff.
Were doing good work,
she said. One of the elementary
folks was talking about how they
take their kids to college campuses already; getting their eyes
opened to, Here are some potential things you can do. Not every
kid is going to go to college
my goal is to find out what they
want to do, whether its the military, a four-year school, two-year
school, trades Here are some
things you can do.
Koenecke said she also learned
how important it is for school
counselors to have administrative support for what they do.
There were superintendents
that came with the finalists, principals that came with the finalists, she said. When you have
a really good school counseling
program, that helps the entire
building.
In an email to the Hub, SASD
superintendent Tim Onsager said

Lisas enthusiasm and outgoing personality have helped her
build relationships with students,
staff and families that have been
a tremendous asset for our school
district, he said.
New mission
School counselors, Koenecke
said, are still trying to get out
from under the old label of guidance counselors, which she said
doesnt begin to describe the
many duties they now perform.
She noted that the ASCA dropped
the word guidance from its title
more than 25 years ago.

We do so much more than just
sit in our office and wait for kids
to come to us, Koenecke said.
We are really trying to promote
our comprehensive school counseling model, and what were
trying to do is take kids, pre-K
through postsecondary, and as a
school counselor, we really focus
on the academic domain, social,
emotional and career.
Koenecke said school counselors have a wide variety of duties,
from conducting tours for new
families and providing individual and small group counseling
to working with student transitions between buildings from
elementary school to middle

school and from middle school to
high school.
She said there are lot of ways
counselors can help students with
a variety of issues.
When were talking academic
skills, it could be test anxiety, organizational skill, talking to teachers
were kind of that bridge sometime, Koenecke said. The biggest part of our job is were helping
kids, first and foremost, to feel safe.
If kids feel safe coming to school,
then theyre going to learn and then
if theyre going to learn, theyre
going to achieve. If they achieve,
theyre going to be successful after
high school.

Stoughton High School senior hasnt had

anyone banging pots and pans or tossing
water in his face reminiscent of any number
of hackneyed Hollywood scripts, but even
he admits his life is about to a take a drastic
turn in late July.
Thats when the 6-foot, 4-inch, 264 pound
lineman, who signed his National Letter of
Intent last Wednesday to play football at
Army, will head off to boot camp.
I dont know if you can really prepare
for it because its nothing like civilian life,
Gerber said.
While Gerber said he drew interest from
North Dakota State, Western Illinois and

couple other similarly sized schools, serving
in the military was also something he saw in
his future from an early age.
I wanted to stay close to home at first, but
then I kind of figured out what I wanted to
do and told my parents, he said. They 100
percent supported my decision.
Inspired by stories from his grandfathers
service in Korea, Gerber reached out to
Army.
He always told me stories about his service the honor of serving the country that
he loved and fighting for the freedoms that so
many take for granted, Gerber said. Ever
since I was little, I kind of always wanted to
be in the Army/military and playing football
at the same time. It was a great opportunity.
While there were plenty of chances to
compete at the Division 1 and 2 level, Gerber said it was education that ultimately that
drove his decision.
I knew I could never get anything close
to the education that West Point could give
me, he said. There have just been so many
connections. Just mentioning your name with
West Point people come talk to you. There
are so many people around that are West
Point grads. Its just one big community.

Signing at Army, Gerber will go to school
at West Point for five years and then will
serve active duty for five additional years
after college.

Vikings go 4-for-7 in the finals to win the Badger Conference tournament

Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
There was a lot to be excited about

for the Stoughton High School wrestling team in the Badger Conference
Tournament Saturday at DeForest
High School.
Besides going 4-for-7 in the finals
and earning 10 spots in the semifinals, the Vikings also had 12 of 14
wrestlers finish in the top eight, helping them score 313 points to win both
the tournament and the Badger South.
But the scary part is that the meet
could have been even better, with
several losses being decided by one
or two moves.
I think the big thing to take from
it is that we could have won a lot of
matches we didnt and we could have
won in bigger form in some, and that
is what we have to do in the coming
weeks if we want to win the big one,

than a typical campus, he
said.
While at Army for a
football camp in early
June, Gerber formed a
quick bond with former a Badger South rival
and future teammate Jeff
Nachtigal.
I remember playing against him as a
sophomore, Gerber said.

Weve been texting backand-forth and hes kind of
told me what its going to
be like having parents so
far away.
He said, Its a great
opportunity, but its hard
because you can only go
home at certain times of
the year. You cant just
leave and go home.
Being much more strict
than your typical campus,
Gerber said, cadets have
more to focus on than
being homesick.
The coaching staff
there knows how much
you work outside of football practice with your
company and as a student, he said. Most of
the coaches have been
through a military background and they know
what people expect from
you outside of the football
program and when to tone

Playing time
Gerber arrived a day
early to the Army football camp last summer and
immediately fell in love
with everything about the
campus.
We toured everything
and then went to the

Tulane game in West Point
and talked to the whole
team, Gerber said. It
was like the people there
knew who I was. They acted like theyd known me
for years, asking me about
my brothers. It was a great
atmosphere.
Gerber will essentially redshirt his freshman
year, going to prep school
where the curriculum
focuses mainly on reading,
math, science and English
as well as things like shining their shoes and saluting correctly in the military.
While in prep school,
Gerber will play football
against other prep school
teams from Navy and Air
Force and the like. After
that hell be in school and
playing with Armys varsity team.
Your second year is
when you starting getting

an opportunity to play,
Gerber said.
I was told, this is a big
and very important class
and some kids could get
the opportunity to play
early, Gerber said.
When Gerber steps on
the field at West Point, he
will join his brothers Sean
and Ben, who played baseball at UW-Stevens Point
and Eric, who played basketball at UW-Platteville.
My dad promised me
that at least he or my mom
would be at every game no
matter what, Gerber said.
High school accolades

A two-time Badger
South All-Conference
player, Gerber finished
out his playing career at
Stoughton by being named
Badger South Conference
Offensive and Defensive
lineman of the Year, as
well as to the All State

team.
It was an awesome
honor and one of the
greatest accomplishments
of the year, Gerber said.
It just showed to the team
that although it didnt turn
out to be the season that
we thought, we knew we
worked hard, and a lot of
kids got recognized.
Though he was recruited
primarily as an offensive
tackle, where Gerber lines
up at West Point remains
to be seen.
At first they talked to
me about playing offensive tackle and then mentioned they could use me
on both sides of the ball,
Gerber said. Offensive
tackle is my main position,
but for me, its whatever
will get me on the field the
fastest.

it down.
During his first year as
a plebe (freshman) Gerber
will be able to come home
for Christmas. Weekend
passes will only allow
him to leave campus three
other times throughout the
year, though. And Gerber
said one of those passes is
already spoken for as he
plans to visit New York
City 40 minutes south of
West Point for the first
time.
Of the 17 branches to
chose from, a few have
peaked Gerbers interest
in the Army infantry,
financial and artillery.

Wrestling: Vikings advance 10 wrestlers into Badger Conference semifinals

including senior Collin
Krauss (145 pounds) fourth
conference title.
Kraus was 3-0 at the tournament, running his career win
total to a school-record 192.
He was a takedown machine
for his semifinals and finals
matches, collecting five in
an 11-2 major decision over
Sauk Prairies Bryant Schaaf
in the semifinals and 11 in a
23-10 major decision over
Miltons Nick Richards in the
finals.
Winning the fourth time
means a lot to me. After I won
my first conference title, we
had to make goals after the
season. My goal was to be a
four-time conference, regional and sectional champion
because I won all three that
year, Kraus said. Winning
all four of these, it just feels
amazing. I was just so ready
to go for my match. I had
nothing to lose.
Juniors Tristan Jenny (126),
Garrett Model and Brandon
Klein (113) all repeated as
conference champions.

Jenny kept the momentum
takedown. Jenny scored on a
adno=451044-01
in the next period with another

reversal and two more near
falls for an 18-2 technical fall
victory.
It feels good to repeat it. I
came in pretty confident and
was looking to dominate,
Jenny said.
Jenny, who only needed 45
seconds to pin Waunakees
Zachary Marek in the semifinals, added that he wasnt
surprised about the Vikings
performance as a team.
It was one of our goals we
had. It is not a shock to us, he
said. We have been thinking
about this since we started the
season.
Model had much closer
matches to claim his title. He
grabbed four-point lead over
Mount Horebs Austin Stram
with a reversal in the second
period, but Stram was able to
regain control and get a reversal himself.
Model escaped for another
point and then held his own in
a 5-2 win.
In the semifinals, Model
scored on a takedown and a
3-point near fall in the first
period and then grappled to a
5-0 victory over DeForests
Austin Rauls.
Coming into the day, I
thought I was going to have
some tough matches all the
way up to my finals match.
Then I thought I was going
to have the guy from Milton
(Vince Digennaro) I wrestled
last week in the finals, but
he ended up losing, Model
said. Our whole team goal
was to stop the streak. Milton
had a 20-year streak they had
going with conference champions. So we were like, We
beat them in the dual. We beat
them in the tournament. We
will stop the streak. That was
our main goal coming into the
tournament. Everyone just
needed to do their job and get

it done.
Klein had one of the more
controversial wins in his finals
match against Fort Atkinsons
Nolan Kraus. The referee
blew an inadvertent whistle
with 14 seconds left after
Kraus scored on a takedown.
With the match tied at two,
the 14 seconds was more
than enough time for Klein
to regroup and score on an
escape for a 3-2 win.
Klein made the finals with
a 5-0 win over Sauk Prairies
Dylan Herbrand.
Junior Kaleb Louis (120),
sophomore Tyler Dow (152)
and freshman Hunter Lewis
(106) also made the finals.
Louis had the toughest loss
of the bunch. He jumped out
to a 9-1 lead over Reedsburgs
Mason McMillen early in the
second period with a reversal. But McMillen came back
and scored on a takedown and
a 3-point near fall with time
running out in the third, tying
the match at 10 and forcing
overtime.
McMillen picked up the
sudden-victory takedown and
won 12-10.
Dow had a tough match
with Sauk Prairies No.1ranked and three-time conference champion Eddie Smith
in the finals. Dow escaped
twice to cut Smiths lead to
4-3 after two periods, and it
came down to defense in the
third after Smith escaped to
make it 5-3.
With three blood timeouts
for Smith, Dow continued to
try and tie the match with a
takedown, but Smith played
conservative while avoiding the stalling penalty. The
match ended for Dow in a 5-3
loss.
Lewis didnt have as close
of a finals match against Sauk
Prairies Zeke Smith. Lewis
was closest in the first period
after a reversal made it 4-3,
but Smith added three more
takedowns as Lewis fell in a
12-4 major decision.
We are doing really good.
This is probably the best team
we have had ever that I have
been on myself, Kraus said.
Looking into the future, I
feel like we will be in the
state finals again. People keep
downing us against Mukwonago because we lost to Mukwonago, but we had some
people give up points that
shouldnt have.
We just need to stay
focused, and I just think we
are going to do better than last
year.
Sophomore Aodan Marshall (220) added a fourthplace finish. He made the
semifinals and won his wrestleback 7-0 over Fort Atkinsons David Purcell.
Marshall fell 7-4 to Sauk
Prairies Logan Moore in the
third-place match.
Freshman Cade Spilde

(132) ended up in fifth place
after making the semifinals. Spilde cruised to a 17-1
technical fall over Portages
Dylan Casey in the fifth-place
match.
Senior Erik Haried (heavyweight) ended up sixth after
making the semifinals. Haried
was pinned by Miltons Tom
Rakestraw in 2:34 in the fifthplace match.
Senior Jacob Groleau
(195) and junior Trevar Helland (160) both added seventh-place finishes. Groleau
pinned Fort Atkinsons Dalton Goldsmith in 29 seconds
in his seventh-place match,
and Helland pinned Monona
Grove-McFarlands Liam
Keeley in 3:22 in his seventhplace bout.
Our little weights have
always been good and successful throughout the years.
And our big guys are even
putting in work. They are
putting in work after practice everyday for 10 minutes. They are getting better, Model said. They are
hand fighting extra. They are
drilling extra extra strength
just anything that can get
them where they need to be.
They have come a long
way as well, and now I think
we have a strong lineup all the
way through in every weight.
Sauk Prairie, which won
the Badger North Conference,
took second with 285 points,
while Milton was third with
215 1/2 points.
With conference done, the
Vikings now set their sights
on winning the regional to
make the team sectional and
also get as many individuals
through to the next rounds as
they can.
It is a fresh start next week.
Everyone is 0-0 once we get
on the mat. The biggest thing
is that we have to improve
this week because we have
to fix those little things so we
can make sure we advance
everyone to the state tournament that are capable of making it through, Dan Spilde
said. There is no question
about it. Our goal is to get all
14 through because you cant
make it to state unless you
make it to sectionals.
If we improve as much
coming into this week as
we have the last couple of
weeks, I think we have a
strong chance of getting all
14 through. We need to have
a balanced attack, and I know
our guys are going to step
up and wrestle well. We just
have to make sure we are
doing the little things right.
Regionals is at 10 a.m.
Saturday at Sun Prairie High
School. If the Vikings win the
regional, they will play in the
WIAA Division 1 team sectional at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb.
16, at Stoughton High School.
The Stoughton High School wrestling team claimed the Badger Conference tournament and the Badger
South Conference titles Saturday at DeForest Area High School. Stoughton won four of seven finals
matches and had 10 wrestlers make the semifinals.

Brian S. Brown
Brian Brown
Brian Scott Brown, age

38, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, Feb. 4,
2016 at Mercy Hospital and
Trauma Center in Janesville.
He was born on July 16,
1977 at Stoughton Hospital,
143 Notices
the son of Kenneth and

Debra (Carlson) Brown. He
graduated from Evansville
High School in 1996. In
1999, he went to work for
Varco Pruden Buildings,
now Blue Scope Buildings,
where he was currently
employed. Brian married
Amanda VanFossen on Oct.
31, 2009 in their hometown
of Evansville.
He had a passion for
music that was passed down
to him from his dad; this
love allowed him to enjoy
the riffs that can only be
found in heavy metal music
and Slayer. He was a big
Green Bay Packers fan and
enjoyed playing games on
his X-Box. He was beyond
generous to all those who
knew him, always thinking
of others. His love for his
wife, children and family,
as well as his extended family, was unconditional. He

will be missed deeply by all
of his family and friends.
He is survived by his
wife, Amanda Brown; his
children, Sequoia VanFossen, Killian Brown;
his mother Debra (Duane)
Anderson; his paternal
grandmother Darlene Carlson, all of Evansville; aunts
and uncles, Susan Nicks of
Evansville, JoAnn (Phil)
Plautz of Kansas City,
David (Deb) Carlson of
Evansville, Diana (Dale)
Harnack of Brodhead,
Michael Brown of Oregon,
Dan (Julie) Brown of Brodhead; extended family,
Brenda Keepers of Albany;
her children, Sarah, Justin,
Shaliko Keepers; numerous extended family and
friends; and three special
friends, Shawn Gempler,

Jason Schoepfer and Brian
Fox. He was preceded in
death by his father Kenneth
Brown; paternal grandfather; maternal grandfather
and grandmother; and his
uncle, Gordon Carlson.
A celebration of Brians
life will be held from 1-4
p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13
at Ward-Hurtley Funeral
Home Evansville. In lieu of
flowers, a memorial fund
is being established for his
childrens education. There
will also be a gathering
after services at Petes Inn
for everyone to share stories and celebrate Brian, the
best husband, father, son
and friend.
Condolences may be
expressed at Wardhurtley.
